These stack stands were visited in November 2008 in connection with a proposed development. They are stone-built measuring 2 metres in diameter and lying some 1.5 metres apart. They are situated to the east side of the roadside boundary dyke and just to the south of a small tree. It was recommended that the stack stands are retained. <1>
